The Zodiac Signs (Lesson)

-Well, traditionally, they are said to be fiery in temperament. And this makes some of them warm and generous, but in others it can come out as an authoritarian streak.

-And Taurus? People say they are very direct.

-Well, it’s more a question of being hardworking and steady, I think. Taureans are actually quite level-headed too, and friendly.

-And Gemini is the sign of people who are proud, isn’t it? But they are also changeable, aren’t they?

-Yes that’s right. Some people say versatile rather than changeable. Leo is the sign of proud people too. Leo is very independent as well, and can occasionally be rather bossy.

-And Cancer?

-Ah, that’s the anxious sign. They tend to be conservative and shy as well. A bit sensitive.

-Pisces people are sensitive too, aren’t they?

-Yes, very similar to cancer, but Pisces are also very imaginative and creative.

-And what about Virgo.

-They are usually a bit obsessive. They like things neat and tidy, no loose ends.

-Mmm, sort of perfectionist.

-Yes, that’s right. They are also hardworking and practical. The opposite of Sagittarians who are great talkers. They are a bit up-in-the clouds, full of self-confidence, very independent but don’t ask them to put a bookshelf up. The other talking sign is Libra, but they are on the argumentative side. They are very pleasant, but you never know quite where you are because they are always changing their minds. What’s left? Erm. Scorpio! They are extremists, possessive, passionate, they are not easiest sign to live with. But life is never dull with them.

-And Capricorn? – they are supposed to be conservative, aren’t they?

-Yes, that’s true , and polite and shy too. But when you get to know them, Capricorns can be incredibly generous, not just with money, but with time and everything else too.

-What are we left with? Oh, yes Aquarians. What about them?

-Well, Aquarius is the thinking sign, the intellectual. Maybe that’s what make Aquarians the most tolerant as well. They are independent in their judgements and in the way they live – but sometimes they tend to be a bit unstable, and even mad at times.

possessive – wanting someone to have feelings of love or friendship for you and no one else

Our astrological signs have apparently changed. Nowadays not one Geminian was born when the sun was in Gemini, nor one Scorpian when the sun was in Scorpio. The problem is that the sun is terribly late, say the astronomers. This means that most of us were born under a different star sign. And there’s even a new sign, Ophiucus, which is the sign of creativity and interest in the life of the pshyche. (thepartofyourmindthatcontrolsyourattitudesandbehaviour).

But new stars don’t replace old ones. Our new signs point to the most creative part in us and tell us not so much “Who am I?”, but “Where am I going?”
